<p>[QUOTE=&quot;raider34, post: 1107657, member: 16402&quot;]Yes, but my argument is the 1964-D Peace dollar is not an &quot;original numismatic item&quot;. Look again at the wording:</p><p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">I don&#039;t argue the overstruck coins are &quot;genuine numismatic items&quot;, they are, but they are reasonably purporting to be a 1964-D Peace Dollar (Which under section f of the terms defined, doesn&#039;t meet the requirements for a &quot;original numismatic item&quot;). </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I agree the wording is up to interpretation. My main point to Medoraman was the Hobby Protection Act was the problem, because the wording has created a loophole (at least you could see the reasonable argument for one). </p><p><br /></p><p>I did consider the broader interpretation of the second definition, but if they intend for a broad definition why did they include &quot;which has been used in exchange&nbsp; or has been used to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; commemorate a person, object, place, or&nbsp; event.&quot;? It could have simply been left as </p><p><br /></p><p>Original numismatic item means anything which has been a&nbsp; part of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a coinage or issue. Such term includes coins,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; tokens, paper money,&nbsp; and commemorative medals.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that was the definition, then the Peace dollars would fall under the requirement, but the 2009 Proof ASE, would not. </p><p><br /></p><p>Because we&#039;re dealing with specific cases, I decided to use them in the definition of an &quot;original numismatic item&quot; and see if they met the criteria. </p><p><br /></p><p>Was the 1964-D Peace Dollar &quot;<b>part of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a coinage or issue which has been used in&nbsp; exchange&nbsp; or has been used to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; commemorate a person, object,&nbsp; place, or&nbsp; event</b>. Such term includes coins,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; tokens, paper money,&nbsp; and commemorative medals.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>Was the 2009 Proof ASE &quot;<b>part of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a coinage or issue which has been used in&nbsp; exchange&nbsp; or has been used to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; commemorate a person, object,&nbsp; place, or&nbsp; event</b>. Such term includes coins,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; tokens, paper money,&nbsp; and commemorative medals.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">In both cases (with my interpretation of the wording), the coins do not fit the definition. I understand you could argue on a broad scale that Peace Dollars and ASE&nbsp; fall under the definition, and therefore any coin, no matter the date/mm, would require the copy stamp. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">In the case of the 1895-P Proof dollar, I believe it would meet the requirement for used in exchange, because it was exchanged (sold) by the mint. This would be the same for all Proof versions of coinage. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000">So for everyone arguing against there legality, I&#039;m not saying your wrong and I&#039;m right; I&#039;m saying your right and I&#039;m right, and that is because the wording of the Hobby Protection Act is flawed. </span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p> <p style="text-align: left"><span style="color: #000000"><br /></span></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
